can't Find value option for chart

[DESMOND95LX]

Hey guys, im new to power Bi and have a little question. While creating a dashboard, i couldn't find the value option for my chart. I only see the Y-axis, X-axis, legend, small multiples... but no option for value. please, i need help with this.

Thanks

Hi @DESMOND95LX , It depends on the type of chart you are using. Not all chart types use the Value fieldwell. For example, bar charts showing sales by region. You can use y-axis to plot your Region category and the x-axis to plot the Total Sales.

Hey John, thanks for your quick response, but was using an example on youtube and he had the option for his own visualization. I attached a screenshot of both.

@DESMOND95LX , looks like an old video. The clustered column chart would have been updated since this video was created to incude x-axis and y-axis fields instead of Axis and Value. You'll still get the same end result.

@johncolley Thank you John, i thought about that too because some of the options where different from what's on the video.
